Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- as needed Olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with olive oil spray.
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin, even strips to resemble traditional french fries. Try to ensure the strips are of uniform size for even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to create the seasoning blend.
Add the potato strips to the bowl with the seasonings and toss them to coat evenly. Use your hands to ensure each piece is covered with the seasoning.
Arrange the seasoned potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overly crowded to help them crisp up properly.
Lightly spray the tops of the potato strips with olive oil spray. This will help them achieve a crispy texture while keeping the fat content low.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.
Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the fries to cool for a few minutes on the sheet before serving.
Serve the low-fat seasoned french fries immediately as a side dish or snack. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce if desired!
